New Version Released? You can Update your Wrapper Without Redownloading!!

To Update your Wrapper:
Right Click your Path of Exile.app file and view the contents.

Open Wineskin.app and Go To Advanced.
Select Tools and Open Winetricks

Look at the Posted changelog and install whatever is listed as being added.

Usually files and support libraries are added when crashes are reported and I find out what it is depending on, and what it is crashing from. So if it is crashing from sound and visual problems, I can usually find out what it is referring to and what it needs installed to stop the crash.

Original Porting Notes

In Order to Get Path of Exile fully working under Wine on Mac you will need to install:
d3dx10_33 - d3dx10_43
d3dx9_24 - d3dx9_43
msvcr100
msvcr80
quartz
d3d10
d3d9
openal32 (ABSOLUTELY NEEDED! Game will crash with errors without)
vcrun2005 (Visual C++ libraries)
vcrun2010 (Without these, the game gives errors upon launching)
dotnet20 (MS .NET 2.0, not 100% sure the port needs it, but I have it installed incase.)

I am also running it under Windows 7, it can be run under WinXP, I haven't seen any difference between to two so I have stuck with Win7.

If You want to port it yourself and you come across sound problems. Add this EXEFLAG: --nosound

Best Version of Wine to Use?

So Far I have found 1.4 to be the best version to use for Path of Exile.

Let me Explain some of them:
1.5.2: Buggy and very very laggy!
1.5.1: Very laggy
1.5.0: Seems to run almost perfectly
1.4NoXInput2: Same as 1.4? Seems to run very smoothly
1.4-rc3: Same as 1.4? Seems to run very smoothly
1.4: Practically Perfect, have not come across any issues
1.3.0 and under: The Game does not recognize the graphics card correctly and will not show water effects.

There are other versions I tested as well, over 20, and i have come across, lag, framerate problems, and crashes. 1.4 seems to be the best version to use.

I Have Only played through the first part, so If there are crashes that come later please report them and I will see if I can help you fix it!

It is ported using Wineskin. Of course it may have some bugs, but it will be almost completely functional.

A rundown of the changes, tweaks, and other methods used to port would be good.

Distributing a port without any explanation of what was done is generous but bad form.

Additionally, offering to go through logs is also generous, but it would be better if there was an open support system so that others can learn what is going on with the port and potential problems that can arise.

Well, I purchased the game at the Supporter level, because I love to support indie game developers, only to find that it wasn't ready for Mac yet, so I will be pleased to be able to play this soon! The trailer and music look and sound great. Hope you all are well, Cheers! Antonie.

I run parallels for on my machine for work so i tried it on there... the performance is mediocre but it works... cant wait for the mac port... PS. I tried running wine and it seems impossible, make a video of you installing PoE :)
